tag, one, because it's a presidential election cycle. a lot of stories get buried in there. two, the whole idea that when you buy something, you wouldn't be able to resell it or trade it or lend it or give it to charity, that is so absurd that it's -- it's hard for people to believe that this type of case would even be before the supreme court. >> and we should give some history here. the case stems from a college student who came from thailand to study at cornel in 1997, and he realized he could buy textbooks produced by john wiley and sons cheaper at home and thailand and should many shift to the u.s. and they made $1.2 million. wiley sued for copyright infringement and the counter was the first sale doctrine. explain to me, andrew, what does the first sale doctrine mean? >> right, the first sale doctrine is very simple. it says if you buy it, you own

it, and can you do with it as you will. the hiccup in the first sale doctrine is that the courts interpreted it to omagh, ply to goods made in the united states. the question that the supreme court's wrestling with is does the for sale doctrine extend to goods made overseas? that is the challenge in this case. >> so what product, what would this mean for consumers? what is at stake here for consumers with this case? >> there this could be disruptive for courages. it -- both on the buy side and the sell side. if you go out and you purchase a bicycle, you're now going have to figure out not only if it's made overseas, but if the manufacturer of the bicycle will allow you to rehill sell it or give it away to good will or donate it to someone, and you will have to go and make the decision with each product that you buy. >> and this could be the end of

yard sales? potentially? what about ebay? >> and that can affect all markets across the board. farmland markets and swap meets, flea markets, eastern market in our backyard and that can impact charity and libraries. libraries will be a non, the most month the folks who will be most disrupted by this because if you're a library with 5, 6, 7 million volumes on hand, you're going to have to go through each volume o at a time and figure out if it was printed overseas or printed in the united states, and if it was printed overseas, do you have penotion lend it from the copyright holder? >> that was andrew shore with the owner's rights initiatives. arguments in the case will be heard this coming monday. a decision is not expected until next year. and a consumer alert tonight for those of you who

chris cooly or laura evans. >> when you like what you're doing, you tend to do it well. >> and that is -- that is that way for me. >> yeah, yeah. isn't that great. and when you have some good weather, makes it easy. >> and then along comes sandy. >> let's hope sandy stays far enough offshore that we don't have to worry about her wrecking our we'd cam and closer to the weekend, speaking of that, can you see the color there and our weekend depends on the track of what is hurricane sandy and we'll be watching them close i. haven't changeed anything with the weekend foeca. the reason, and i don't see a reason to do it, saturday looks nice and a chance of a few spotty showers on saturday.

it looks like, and this hasn't changed, that sunday will go down hill. we're going to have a good chance of rain around here, and it's going be chilly, too, with the temperatures only upper 50s to lower 60s for highs and definitely sunday looks wet and sunday looks chilly and i hope that changes but it depends on this here. >> and came earlier this afternoon. right now, it's basically sitting over the east sections of jamaica. the wins are up to 80 miles an hour. still a category 1 hurricane movement right now to the north and 14 miles per hour and give this a couple more hours. it will move off of jamaica and start to make landfall again in cuba. the pressure has been dropping. the winds have been going up. and the last few hours, she's begun to form an i and the last time the husent back word that i was about 50- miles wide. that is a substantial i, to

tell you the truth. this is the next the next few days, comes off of cuba from a weakened tropical storm off of the bahamas and reinvigorates itself so offshore of florida, we're talking about a potential category 1 hurricane again and moving slowly to the north and east and this is the official hurricane track from the hurricane center and something changeed a little knit, moved farther to the west, and you notice the last position here begins to jog to the left or towards the coast of the united states. talk about spaghetti miles basically. this is all of the models we looked at over the next 48 hours. the models are tightly packed through the bahamas and we get a great deal of divergence as we take this farther out into the future. again, what we're seeing now is more consistency in days four and five with the models and beginning to turn it back to the left or to the west or

forwards the mid-atlantic to jersey and new england. we believe by that period of time, it's transitioning from a tropical storm or a hurricane over to a extra tropical or a subtropical storm, and it's going to be packing wind meaning we'll -- we'll have to coop a close eye on the outure cast showing we're in good shape tomorrow, we'll take you into friday and have a few more clouds out there. limited sunshine. here's saturday morning, more clouds and this is why we think that sunday's going to be wet. this is the influence of hurricane sandy coming up the east coast, and it should be here by sunday. overnight tonight, watch out for foggy spots, 50s in the suburbs, 60 in town and nice tomorrow, and that is looks like sunshine and cooler and there is that look at your fox 5 accuweather seven-day forecast and i haven't made any changes, especially into the

weekend. and after the weekend and beyond, there is a lot cooler and everything in that forecast has to do with what hurricane sandy. s to do. >> okay. >> and we also have tropical storm tony out there in the atlantic. it's going to go harmlessly off in the north atlantic. we don't need to worry about that. >> thank you, gary. >> yeah. bobby brown's been arrested again, accused of drunk driving. this time, the second time this year, actually. he was released a little while after he was booked at the jail in los angeles this morning. brown pleaded no contest to a dui charge earlier this year. he checked into rehab in august as part of the apply agreements. and let's go to brian bolter for what is next on the news edge at 6. hi, brian. >> reporter: hey, guys. a virginia congressman's son forced to step down from his role on the campaign. what he was talking about that was caught on camera at 6. and then, stinging remarks retracted by an indiana senate
